I love that photo! What did it come from (magazine or booklet).

Also, I have a nice scan of a 1927 Kohler Electric Sink advert that i would be happy to share if there is any interest. Just let me know.

Hi Alan. I would love to see a picture of a 1927 electric
sink. I remember them from the 1950's but I did not know that
they were made back in the 20's.

1946 General Electric

This is from a booklet "Planning your home for better living -- Electrically"

There are a number of laundry appliances illustrated in the booklet, but the automatic washer pictured here wasn't even available for purchase until the following year.

Kohler Electric Sink

I will be interested in seeing a users manual. When I was a young child, my parents bought a house with a Kohler Electric sink. I do not remember it too well - I think it had a propeller in the bottom (which reminded me of the propeller on our outboard motor). I think I remember that you had to turn some valves to fill and drain. It worked very well in the three years we lived in that house.
